Using a Mason Pearson-type brush, brush through the waves to create a polished finish.

The Look: Soft, bohemian waves
Products used: Macadamia Professional Nourishing Moisture Oil Treatment, Macadamia Professional Foaming Volumizer, Macadamia Control Working Spray, Macadamia Professional Whipped Detailing Cream
How-To:
STEP 1:
Start with towel-dried hair and apply Macadamia Professional Nourishing Moisture Oil Treatment to the whole length of the hair to create a soft and supple base. Next, apply a generous amount of Macadamia Professional Foaming Volumizer to the whole head, roots and length to create hold for the next steps.
STEP 2: Rough blow-dry the whole head upside down until hair is about 85 percent dry. To create large overall volume, smooth out only the top with a large round brush and then brush the rest with a paddle brush.

STEP 3: Section off a small side part and divide the rest of the hair in four parts. Brush each section gently with a wide-tooth comb and spray with Macadamia Control Working Spray. Twist each section all the way to the ends and onto itself creating small twisted buns. Pin in place, leaving 2 inches of the ends out. Use a diffuser to dry the twists for about 15 minutes. Let the hair cool for 10 minutes.
STEP 4: Take the twists out using only your hands to stretch each down and relax them. Smooth out any kinks with a small flat iron gently so as not to loosen the waves.
STEP 5: Apply Macadamia Professional Whipped Detailing Cream through the whole length to separate the hair and give it the right amount of texture.
STEP 6: Using your hands, take Macadamia Professional Whipped Detailing Cream and push the top part backwards and slightly off to the side, twisting the hair gently to create top volume and pin in place.
STEP 7: Move one inch back from the side and hide a soft small braid behind the ear. Let the hair flow down on the pinned side and push the other side behind the shoulder. Spray the top hair in place with Macadamia Control Working Spray and let the rest flow.
Before blowdrying the hair, spray Keratherapy Leave-In Conditioner throughout to make hair smooth and shiny.

STEP 2: Apply Keratherapy Daily Smoothing Cream to seal the cuticle and eradicate frizz while shielding hair from damage caused by heat styling. Blowdry hair using a large 3-inch round brush.
STEP 3:
After hair is completely dry, spray Keratherapy Rapid Rescue to hydrate hair before curling sections with a 1-½-inch curling iron, then pin each section and let them cool for 10 minutes
STEP 4: Then run one pump of Keratherapy Argan Oil through the ends for added shine.
STEP 5: Finish by pushing hair to the side behind the ears and spray all over with Keratherapy Perfect Hold Hairspray to set and add a layer of protection from humidity.
